This system was inuenced by a number of systems, but mainly the Persona ruleset written by Mark Mascaro.
If you are familiar with the FATE system (the Dresden Files RPG, Kerberos Club. Spirit of the Century.
etc), some things might look familiar to you. They're dierent. This game does not use fudge dice, nor is it
strictly using the FATE SRD.
The Persona series is property of Atlus. This work is not intended for prot.

2 Setting

The Persona setting is an approximately present day, present time urban fantasy. The world is always under
the threat of beings known as Shadows. Most of the time, Shadows exist separate from the real world.
However, during certain times, the world of Shadow can interpose itself on the real world, and aect the
people who live there. Sometimes, this is during a time known as the Dark Hour, an hour between 12:00:00am
and 12:00:01am, when most of the world stops. Other times, it is via some other portal.
There are many thoughts as to what Shadows are. Some say they are manifestations of the dark desires
of humanity, summoned up from the Sea of Unconsciousness to become nightmares given form. Others say
they are otherworldly demonic invaders.
The only line of defense against the Shadows rests in the hands of certain young adults who can manifest
the power of Persona. A Persona is the manifestation of an individual's will and some inner truth about
themselves that they present to the world.
1 Often, Personae are archetypes based on mythology and tied to
the Major Arcana of the tarot. These Personae, this strong sense of self, protect the user against the power
of the Shadows and allow the user to ght against them.
But because the Persona comes from within and are masks people use to interact with the world, the
strength of a Persona is dependent on the strength of the sense of self and the bonds a person forms with
others. By strengthening oneself, one can stand stronger against the tide of Shadows that threaten to consume
the world.

3 Numbers, Rounding, and Dice

3.1 Rounding
Is always, always up. This will be a question, so it's answer is right here in the beginning. In the event you
see the instructions one FOO per three BAR, this is not the same as BAR/3. In the former case, 4 BAR
will only get you 1 FOO, not two. The formet is also way more common.

3.2 Die Sizes

The die sizes, in order, are 0, 1, 1d2, 1d4, 1d6, 1d8, 1d10, 1d12, and 1d20.

4 Character and Persona Creation

4.1 Declaring Aspects

Aspects are descriptors that dene parts of the game, be they characters, a particular place, a object, etc.
If it's important to the story or world, it's probably going to have at least one aspect. Aspects can be single

1 This is basically Jungian archetypes and psychology, re: Shadows and Persona. If you're interested, checking out some of
Jung's work might be helpful. They're not 1:1 matches, but you can see where the video game series got a lot of its mythos.

 2
words or phrases . How Aspects work in game is described later, in Section 5 (cleverly titled  Aspects). If
you're familiar with the FATE system, you've seen Aspects before.
Every character starts with 4 Aspect Tokens. Aspect Tokens may be used to interact with Aspects (Section
5) or to tap a card in the Arcana Spread (Section 9.2). Aspect Tokens refresh every game session.

4.1.1 Character
A character begins with 5 aspects: as many Arcana as you have Personae at character creation, and the rest
free.

Arcana: Exactly What It Says On The Tin. It must be one of the Major Arcana in the Tarot deck.

Free: Anything you want.

Additionally, a character may always use his or her equipped Persona's Conviction as an Aspect.

4.1.2 Persona
A Persona has Types and Convictions instead of aspects. The quantities vary depending on if the character
is a high schooler or a college student.
A high school student's Persona starts with 2 Types and 1 Conviction (but high schoolers start with two
Personae). A college student's Persona starts with 4 Types and 1 Conviction.

Type: What category of spell the Persona can learn. The categories are Physical, Fire, Ice, Wind,
Lightning, Light, Dark, Healing, Bu, Debu, Status, and Intel .
3

Conviction: A powerful driving force that caused a Persona to come into being. It's related to a
Persona's mythos. It must demand action. These are often also the reason the character was drawn to
the particular Persona of that Arcana .
4

A character can only have one Persona active at any time, but the active Persona's Conviction can be used
as one of the character's Aspects.
Example: Carol is a high school student. She has the Personae CHARIOT: Ares and DEVIL: Faust. Her
player decided her Character Aspects are Chariot, Devil, Hot-Blooded, Give Her an Inch and She'll
Take a Mile, and Can't Touch This. Her player now looks at the Aspects Ares and Faust have. Ares has
the Types Physical and Bu , with the Conviction: Spoiling for a Fight. Faust has the Types Dark and
Status, with the Conviction Power at Any Price. Carol currently has Faust active, so her player knows
that Faust's Conviction is active and Power at Any Price can be invoked or compelled, while Spoiling for
a Fight cannot.

4.2 Character
4.2.1 Abilities
There are six abilities: Strength (STR), Vitality (VIT), Agility (AGL), Technique (TEC), Magic (MAG),
and Luck (LUK). There is one additional derived value, Hit Points (HP). These abilities belong to your
character, though the Persona you have equipped may modify them. At level 1, distribute 18 points among
your abilities, with none lower than 1 or higher than 4. Hit Points are equal to 15 + 5level + 3VITlevel.
There is no maximum value for abilities.

2 Protip: if you're feeling stuck on character aspects, TVTropes (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HomePage)

trope names are a goldmine for this sort of thing. Yes, we just directed you to TVTropes. We're not sorry.
3 Defensive spells are included in their elemental type. Almighty and Unique spells do not count as types.
4 Orpheus (Persona 3 ) and Izanagi (Persona 4 ) are both Arcana: Fool. They're also very, very dierent.

4
 HP is the amount of damage you can take before falling unconscious. It is a derived value and cannot
be increased directly. Temporary changes to VIT such as combat bus and equipped Persona bonuses do
change max HP, but do not change current HP unless specied. If your max HP falls below your current
HP, your current HP is immediately clipped.

Strength increases the damage dealt by basic attacks and physical special attacks. Strength is the basis
for damage of both melee and ranged weapons. This is kludgite 5 .
Vitality increases your maximum hit points, works with armor to increase your resistance to damage,
and helps you resist fatigue.

Agility increases your chance of dodging attacks and increases the distance you can move. It also
improves your initiative.

Technique increases your chance of dealing damage with all attacks. It may also improve the targeting
capabilities and range of certain spells.

Magic increases the damage dealt by magical special attacks.

Luck increases your resistance to bad status eects, your chance to make a critical hit, and provides
Luck Charges equal to your LUK at the start of each session. By spending one of these charges, you can
6
add LUKd6 to any roll . Persona skills may give you additional uses for LUK charges.

4.2.2 Skills
Secondary abilities don't apply directly to combat; rather, they quantify your Personal aptitude and social
skills. They aect the benets of extracurricular activities, your scores on tests, and various other factors
that inuence Personal growth rather than combat performance. Consult the appropriate handout for your
campaign for a list of activities and how they inuence and are inuenced by secondary abilities. The six
secondary abilities are Knowledge (KN), Discipline (DI), Empathy (EM), Charm (CH), Expression (EX),
and Courage (CO).
At character creation, you may distribute 15 points among your social skills. 5 is the maximum starting
skill value. You may have no more than two 0s, no more than one 5, and nothing higher than 5.
There may be plot- or character-based restrictions on these stats that will be explained by your GM.
For the typical high school-age campaign, these values are indicative of immaturity; values of 3-6 are typical
for adults. Values above 18 are nigh-superhuman. Values of 25 are absolutely legendary.

Knowledge is your accumulated learning. It helps you perform on tests and in school in general. The
insight provided by a broad base of knowledge is useful in a variety of situations, and it facilitates the
growth of many other secondary characteristics.

 At Knowledge 6, you've absorbed a wealth of mythology, and once per Dark Hour can learn one
elemental weakness of an enemy.

 At Knowledge 12, you are able to easily read into your foe's attacks, and once per Dark Hour can
choose to automatically succeed on a dodge roll.

 At Knowledge 18, you gain some tactical insight into battle, and gain an intrinsic +1 to STR,
MAG, or TEC.

 At Knowledge 24, you can see right through your enemy's defenses, and once per Dark Hour
can choose to spend a minor action to gain the eect of Mind Charge or Power Charge. You
gain an aspect chosen from among Badass Bookworm, The Chessmaster, Insuerable Genius,
Impossible Genius, The Smart Guy, and I Can See Forever.

5 Because otherwise you get Persona 1, where TEC was a hideous godstat, which we are attempting to avoid here, god help
us all.
6 Yes, even damage rolls

5
 Discipline is your focus and dedication, your ability to commit to a task. It helps in tasks that require
focus, such as studying, and can earn a lot of respect from one's peers.

 At Discipline 6, your willpower gives you greater combat longevity, and you gain +10 max HP and
+1 fatigue limit.

 At Discipline 12, you can ght beyond your physical limits, and you gain +15 max HP and +1
fatigue limit.

 At Discipline 17, your force of will allows you to shrug of signicant damage, granting +1 VIT.

 At Discipline 24, you become almost inpossible to stop: once per Dark Hour, upon dying for
any reason you may stand up with 50% of your max HP restored. This has the timing of an
interrupt, but doesn't consume your interrupt for the round. You gain an aspect chosen from
among Determinator, The Stoic, Tranquil Fury, Made of Indestructium, I'm Okay, and
You Call That a Wound.

Empathy is your ability to understand the emotional state of another. It helps in working out a wide
variety of social problems, and is critical in tasks that require training or commanding others.

 At Empathy 5, your ability to establish a strong connection with others allows you to support them
when they're troubled: once per Dark Hour, you may spend a minor action to remove all Mind
eects from an ally who can hear you.

 At Empathy 10, the support you extend to others works in both directions: once per Dark Hour,
you may automatically negate a Mind eect.

 At Empathy 16, you are a convincing leader, and once per dark hour you may spend a move action
to remove all Mind eects from all allies within earshot.

 At Empathy 19, your healing eects that target adjacent allies heal 25% more.

 At Empathy 24, thrice per Dark Hour when you cast a healing spell on an ally you also receive
a healing eect at half of that strength. You gain an aspect chosen from among The Heart,
I Feel Your Pain, The Conscience, The White Mage, Spider Sense, Your Tears Are Deli-
cious, Armor-Piercing Question, Fluent In Unspoken, and I Know You Better Than You Know
Yourself .

Charm is your charisma, Personal magnetism, and style: that which draws others to you. It helps in a
variety of social situations, especially when dealing with strangers, during negotiation, and when trying
to call in (or beg for) a favor.

 At Charm 5, once per Dark Hour you may cast Pulinpa.

 At Charm 8, once per Dark Hour you can cast Dekaja.

 At Charm 12, once per Dark Hour you may cast Marin Karin. You may use half your Charm in
place of TEC if it's higher.

 At Charm 18, once per Dark Hour you may force an enemy's single-target (area) power to target
(be centered on) you.

 At Charm 24, once per day you may reroll an Empathy or Expression check at +3. You gain an
aspect chosen from among The Face, The Charmer, The Casanova, Magnetic Hero, Plucky
Comic Relief , Prince Charming, Bishounen, Bishoujou, Even the Girls Want Her, Even the
Guys Want Him, and Sharp-Dressed Man.

Expression is your ability to communicate, whether in speech, writing, or art. It helps in school with
presentations and papers, and is especially useful for musicians. In other situations, it will let you
make a persuasive argument or, when backed up by Charm, take a leadership role. It is also useful in
coordinating allies.

6
  At Expression 8, once per Dark Hour as a move action you may designate a target. Until the
end of the encounter, allies who attack that target treat their LUK as 1 higher for the purpose of
determining critical hits.

 At Expression 12, you can help your allies stay aware of the battleeld. Once per Dark Hour as a
minor action you may give all allies +1 dodge die category until the end of your next turn.

 At Expression 16, you can deliver a badass one-liner. Once per Dark Hour as a move action you
may attempt to inict Rage on all units within range 12. For enemies, the chance is 25%, plus 5%
for each 2 Expression. Allies can choose whether or not to get Rage.

 At Expression 20, you are adept at coordinating your allies. Once per Dark Hour as a standard
action you may designate a target. For the next 2 rounds, that target cannot inict critical hits
and attacks on that target cannot miss.

 At Expression 24, your tactical capability is superhuman. Once per Dark Hour you may spend a
standard action and a move action to give each ally a move action. You gain an aspect chosen from
among Filibuster, But I Digress, Monologuing, Let Me Tell You a Story, Rousing Speech,
Talking is a Free Action, Verbal Judo, and The Artist.

Courage is your ability to ignore fear. In school, it's helpful for performances and presentations, though
usually secondary to Expression.

 At Courage 9, you're always the rst to charge into battle and take a +6 initiative bonus.

 At Courage 16, you realize that fortune really does favor the bold. You get +1 LUK.

 At Courage 20, you don't let simple things like hit points get in the way of victory. You gain Fortify
Elements 2 and Fortify Physical 2.

 At Courage 24, you learn the power of recklessness. As a minor, you can reduce your armor value
and Fortify eects to zero until the start of your next turn. Until the start of your next turn, you
add your Fortify Physical and armor value to physical damage inicted and your Fortify <Element>
value to corresponding elemental damage inicted. You gain an aspect chosen from among Lawful
Stupid, Chaotic Stupid, Suicidal Overcondence, Heroic Resolve, Nerves of Steel, and The
Eternal Churchill.

4.2.3 Using Skills

Skills are used in challenges given by the GM to deal with certain situations. These could range from passing
a test in school to talking down a suicidal friend to unlocking a puzzle to charging straight ahead into certain
danger.
A challenge will have a target number, designated by the GM. This represents the skill level necessary to
complete the task at the bare minimum level. The more your skill rating exceeds this number, the greater
the success, and similarly for failure. Of course, sometimes your ordinary skill won't be high enough to
complete a task. Sometimes you'll have to solve a problem in a hurry. Sometimes, a mere success might not
be enough! In that case, you can take a risk, adding both the possibility of great success and the possibility
of spectacular failure. You may risk a die of any size from d2 to d20. Roll it once, adding the result to your
skill level, and again, subtracting it from that total.
If you risk little or nothing against a reasonable task, you'll generally get a safe result - a mild success or
failure. Against a challenge that's clearly beyond your abilities, you may have to risk more just for a chance
of success. On the other hand, if a task is beneath you, you might choose to risk more for the chance of a
truly spectacular success. You should note that if a target is more dicult than your skill level, increasing
risk always increases your chances of success... but the failures could be dire.
If you're nervous, or in a rush, it's hard to perform consistently; in that case, you must risk at least a d4.
Particularly dicult circumstances might cause your GM to impose a higher minimum risk.

7
 Example 1: Dan is in the student center and is trying to convince someone to donate money for a fund
raiser. Dan has 4 CH, and he has a good rapport going, so he decides not to risk anything. The GM had set
the target number at 4 exactly, so Dan gets a couple of bucks.
Example 2: Dan's feeling encouraged by his previous success and goes to a sympathetic local business
to try to drum up some bigger support. The GM has secretly set the target number at 3. Dan feels like he
could easily talk them out of a few bucks, but he knows a protable company could aord to give more, so
he decides to aim high and risks a d6. He rolls a 5 and a 3 for a net +2 on his check, bringing the total to 6.
He beats the target number by 3, gives a particularly impassioned speech, and scores a sponsorship for the
fundraiser.
Example 3: Evan is stuck presenting his project rst in his history class. He was out ghting shadows
the night before and didn't have time to nish his presentation, so he has to wing it with a target number
of 4. Unfortunately, he's also a terrible public speaker, and is a little bit nervous - the GM decides he has to
risk at least a d4 with his EX of 2. He rolls a 1, then a 4, bringing his skill result down to -1. He fumbles his
way through something so bad it's not even wrong, and winds up with a detention.

4.3 Persona
4.3.1 Spells
Each Persona has a Refresh value, indicating how many spells can be held ready for use at one time.
Each Persona also knows some number of spells. Growth Points awarded after battle increase a Persona's
capabilities; every 10 Growth Points is sucient to raise a Persona a level. At each level, a Persona receives
points that can be spent on buying additional spells. More on this in Sections 4.4 and 7.1.
A Persona may know at most 12 spells, including learned passive eects; if an additional spell is learned,
an old power must be forgotten. When a power is forgotten, half of the AP cost of that spell is refunded
(track half-points; don't round).
Example: Bob's Persona JUSTICE: Angel has 12 powers and is able to learn Diarama. His player decides
to forget Dia in order to t it on Angel's power list. Forgetting Dia returns half an AP to Angel, which isn't
enough to buy a new spell, so Bob simply saves it.

4.3.2 Strengths and Weaknesses

Each Persona has a set of damage type strengths and weaknesses.
There is one Physical Type.
There are four Elemental Types: Fire, Ice, Wind, and Lightning.
There are four Special Types: Mind, Nerve, Light, and Darkness.
There is one Non-Type: Almighty.
Each Persona will be strong or weak to some number of damage types. There are ve possible interactions:

Absorb allows you to recover HP equal to the damage dealt by the attack. Absorbing a Dark spell
doubles your current HP. Absorbing a status eect simply causes it to have no eect.

Reect repels the eect of the spell back at the attacker. If it was a multi-target eect, the caster
suers the eects multiple times.

Null causes the ability to inict no damage at all, or have no chance of taking eect.

Resist causes the ability to do half damage or have half the chance of taking eect.

Weak causes the ability to do double damage or have double the chance of taking eect.

If you are Null, Reect, or Absorb for a type, and you get hit by a spell of that type, you are also immune
to to any secondary eects of that spell.

4.3.3 Building Persona
This section is optional for GMs. A GM is free to design their campaign's Personae as they wish; these are
merely suggestions.
A Persona should start with a number of Resistances and Weaknesses. In general, you should choose one
strength and one weakness or two strengths and two weaknesses. You should seek GM approval for any other
distribution.
When you build a Persona, you start with 6 AP to spend on abilities. If you're a high school student
starting with two Personae, each starts with 3 AP. Abilities are divided into four Tiers, as seen in the Spell
Compendium at the end of these rules (Section 10). Each ability costs a number of points equal to its tier,
except for tier IV spells, which have a special scaling cost starting at 5 AP.
Example: The GM is designing the Persona STRENGTH: Atlas as one of a high school student's two
Personae. At 1st level, he has 3 points to spend, so gives Atlas three Tier I abilities. At level 2, he spend the
1 AP gained to give Atlas another Tier 1. At level 3, he thinks it's about time Atlas started learning cooler
powers, so he saves the 1 AP gained; he also chooses +1 Refresh as his three-level bonus (see 4.4.3). At level
4, Atlas gains 2 more AP for a total of 3 unspent, allowing Atlas to learn a Tier III ability.
Later, the GM decides to start designing the Persona TEMPERANCE: Suzaku. Suzaku is the Persona for
a college student character, who assigns the starting 6AP to only one Persona. The GM decides he's starting
Suzaku o with 2 Tier II spells (that cost 2AP apiece) and 2 Tier I spells.

4.4 Leveling
Your character and each of your Personae level separately.

4.4.1 Character Leveling

When a character gains a level, determine your new max HP and do as many of the following things as you
qualify for.

At every level, add a point to a skill.

If your level is odd, add a point to a skill.

If your level is even, take a Feat.
If your level is a multiple of three, add a point to an ability. Remember to set your max HP to 15 +
5level + 3VITlevel!

For example, at level 2 you get a skill point and a feat. At level 5, you get two skill points. At level 6, you
get a skill point, a feat, and an ability point.

4.4.2 Feats
Feats are special abilities that can aect how interact with the world Personally and with your Persona.
Some feats may have additional requirements.

Revelations

4.4.3 Persona Leveling

When a Persona levels, the Persona gains 1 AP plus 1 AP per 3 levels. AP are used in constructing your
Spell Deck (see Section 7.1 for how the Spell Deck is used). You don't have to spend AP as soon as you get
them; you can save them for more powerful spells. Each time a Persona levels, you may spend points from
its AP pool to buy one spell, which may be an additional copy of a spell you already know.
Tier I, II, and III spells simply cost points equal to their tier, and you may buy multiple copies of a spell
without penalty. Tier IV spells are signicantly more powerful, and it's dicult to learn more than one on
a given Persona: Tier IV spells cost 5 AP, plus one for each tier IV spell that Persona already knows.
Additionally, every third level, you may choose one of the following:

+1 refresh. You may take this as many times as you like.

+1 to any stat while this Persona is equipped. You may take this as many times as you like, but your
bonuses must be as broad as they are deep: the total bonus to one stat can't exceed the number of stats
that have bonuses. (+1 STR is OK, +2 STR is not. +1 STR +1 VIT is OK, and +2 STR +2 VIT is
also ne.)

+2 to any social skill for your character. You may take this as many times as you like.

Copy any spell you know that is Tier III or lower. You may take this as many times as you like.

5 Aspects

5.1 What are Aspects?

As mentioned previously, aspects are keywords and phrases that describe the important parts of a character,
environment, or item. Mechanically, they are toggles that can be activated by the players and GM to alter
the direction of the story.
Personal aspects have been discussed in Section 4.1. In addition, other things can have aspects.

5.1.1 Scene Aspects

Exactly what it says on the tin. These describe the current scene. Unlike Personal aspects, there's no default
number of aspects a scene might have. The only aspect it must have is a time aspect.
A scene is dened by the time block it consumes. Each day has seven scenes: Morning, Lunch, Afternoon,
After School, Evening, Late Night, Dark Hour.
Other than the time designator for a scene, there are four broad categories for scene and setting:

Environment: Lighting, atmosphere, weather, etc. These are aspects that represent the ability of those
in the scene to percieve things. Dark and Stormy is an example of an environmental aspect.

Mood: Aspects that describe the attitudes of a crowd in the scene. Excited Pep Rally could be an
example.

Hazard: Exactly what it says on the tin. These are conditions that are likely to cause damage and
harm to the people in the scene. On Fire! is a good example. So are Deadly Neurotoxin and Mashy
Spike Plate.

Scenery: Catch-all for other features of the scene, such as Stack of Crates and History Classroom.

11
5.1.2 Other Aspects
Objects: Plot-important objects have aspects. The sword that slew the Jabberwock would have the
aspect Vorpal Blade and/or Goes Snicker-Snack. Refrain from giving every object in the game aspects,
because it'll just bog things down.

People: NPCs often have aspects (planned or impromptu). Using aspects is an easy way to make them
useful and distinctive in a story without much trouble. Certain NPCs might also have Arcana aspects.
These NPCs could oer ways of increasing Social Links (see Section 9.1 for more details).

5.2 How Aspects Work

First, pick an aspect relevent to the situation. Second, ask how it's relevent. This determines how it's
activated. To be activated, an aspect will be invoked or compelled. If it's helping you, you'll invoke it. If
it's hindering you, it's a compel.

5.2.1 Invoking
When you invoke an aspect, you're attempting to directly aect the narrative in a manner consistant with
the aspect for your benet. To do so, explain what you want the aspect to provide and spend an Aspect
Token to make it happen. If the GM doesn't think the desired eect is reasonable from the aspect, they can
cancel it (which means no Aspect Token is spent). In general, you can also use an Aspect Token to add +4
to an appropriate skill challenge.
Example: The party has reached a dark cave. They are trying to be cautious and don't want to fall into
any traps or pitfalls the cave might have. But no one has a light source in their equipment list. Alice's player
says Since I have the Aspect 'All Tech Men Carry Batteries', it stands to reason I have a ashlight on me.
The GM agrees that this is logical and allows Alice to spend one of her tokens to invoke that aspect. The
party then continues into the cave with a source of illumination.
Example: The current scene has the aspect Dark and Stormy Night. The party needs to escape through
the quad and avoid getting caught by campus police. Bob's player says It's a 'Dark and Stormy Night'. I
want to take advantage of that and say it's a lot harder for the CPs to see us moving through the wind and
rain in the dark. The GM agrees, and Bob spends his token. The party gets away, although they are very
wet.

5.2.2 Compel
When an aspect is compelled, you are forced to obey one of your aspects in such a way that it gets you in
trouble. To be a valid compel, things must be worse for your character after the compel. Otherwise, it isn't
a compel. Either the players or the GM can compel and aspect. When the compel happens, the GM oers
an Aspect Token to the compelled player. That player can follow the compel and take the Aspect Token, or
pay one of their Aspect Tokens to refuse the compel. Other players can suggest compels. Self-compels are
7
also valid .
Compels can escalate to a degree. If a player refuses a compel, the GM can oer two Aspect Tokens; it
then costs two Aspect Tokens to refuse. If they still refuse, the GM can escalate a third time, but three times
is the limit .
8

Example: Carol has been pretty stressed trying to balance coursework and saving the world. Her advisor
is an NPC with the aspect Perfectionist. Carol's player points out You know, Carol's advisor is probably
going to get annoyed that her work's been slipping. He is a 'Perfectionist', after all. The GM considers it,
and then allows the compel, handing Carol's player a token. Carol then gets a dressing-down by her advisor
for sloppy work.

7 If you think this can milk the system for Aspect Tokens, you are absolutely correct.
8 Like St. Peter, you can only deny it three times.

12
 Example: The party's on a deadline and is chasing after a target. Dan is trying to get some intel out of
a cute barrista in the local coeeshop. Dan has the Aspect: Sucker for a Pretty Face. The GM decides to
make things harder for the party. The GM says Dan, that barrista is really cute. You are a 'Sucker for a
Pretty Face'... and holds up an Aspect Token. Dan's player agrees and takes the token. Dan gets distracted
by the cute barrista and loses his lead on the target.

6 Social Links

Social Links are a mechanical way of indicating relationships between characters that the players form. Social
Links (or S.Links) can be between players and each other, or players and NPCs. There are dierent rules for
each type. Starting, maintaining, and leveling S.Links are useful, as they grant various bonuses to the player
character and even to the party.
When a player progresses along an S.Link, they rank up as they spend time with the character who holds
that S.Link. Each S.Link track has a counter. When the counter reaches a certain threshhold, depending on
the S.Link, the S.Link ranks up. The counter totals for each rank for each S.Link are public.
There are three ways to gain points that tick up the counter:

Tag 2 skills for an interaction: 1 count

Tag an Aspect for an interaction: 5 counts

GM discretion for interactions (taking a full time unit or during a scene, etc)

6.1 With NPCs

Each NPC that it is possible to create a social link with has one of the Major Arcana assigned to them. The
GM might not tell you what that Arcana is before the link is created.
For most NPCs, the S.Link track is from 0-50 and the ranks are evenly distributed along it. Some special
NPCs might have higher count levels and may take more than 50 points to max out.
At Rank 5, add a copy of the Arcana associated with the S.Link to the Arcana Spread.
At Rank 10, you gain an ability, either a feat or an Ability to add to the Spell Deck that is not dependent
on Persona.

6.2 With PCs

S.Links between party members are a bit more complicated than with NPCs. They also have greater rewards.
PC S.Links are asynchronous. They do not have to progress at the same rate.
The S.Link track is from 0-100. The ranks are dierently distributed along the track depending on the
character, as not all people relate to people in the same way.
When maxed at Rank 10, the character gains an Aspect related to one of the S.Link's Aspects.
Until Rank 10, the rewards per Rank are left up to the GM. These could range from more plot and side
quests to small bonuses or minor abilities
9
Example: Alice and Bob have formed a S.Link. They are hanging out in the student-run computer
club on their campus. Alice talks about how she rst got into programming and tags her Aspect Raised
by Mathematicians. Bob doesn't have a relevent Aspect that really goes well with the setting, so he tags
Knowledge and Empathy to keep up with the conversation. Alice takes 5 counts on Bob's S.Link; Bob takes
1 point for Alice's.
Alice is a lot more reticient than Bob, who is fairly outgoing. When they compare tracks, Bob's S.Link is
spaced out evenly at 10 counts per rank up (10 for Rank 1, 20 for Rank 2, etc); Alice, on the other hand,
takes a bit longer to get comfortable with people, so her S.Link's track is front-loaded with 30 for Rank 1,
and then non-evenly distributed up to 100.

9A list of suggestions is included in the GM guide. They are suggestions. A lot of freedom is left up to your GM and the
campaign.

13
7 Combat

7.1 Spell Deck

Each player has a spell deck. The spell deck contains the abilities the active Persona knows. Each copy of a
spell a Persona knows gives you a spell card that allows it to be used up to once in a combat. You can cast a
spell as long as copies of it exist in your hand. After a spell is cast, put it in a discard pile for that Persona.
At the beginning of an encounter, the player may draw up to their current Persona's Refresh value from
their spell deck.
10 To rell your hand, you must switch Persona or, if you have no active Persona, take the
refresh action (see below). When you swap active Persona, return your hand to the active Persona's deck.
Draw a new hand from the new Persona's spell deck up to its Refresh value.
You can always choose to do a basic melee or ranged attack for free.

7.2 Fatigue
Fatigue is every Persona-user's enemy; battle after battle in the Dark Hour simply wears you down. You
can use fatigue to ready spells you've already cast for another use, but eventually it will take a toll on your
body. Your basic fatigue limit is equal to your STR plus your VIT, plus any modiers you have from feats or
special abilities. By spending Fatigue equal to a spell's tier, you can, as a minor action, put that spell into
your hand from your deck or discard pile.
At the end of your turn, update your fatigue penalty level. For every two points of fatigue above your
limit, you take a -1 penalty to VIT and AGL. You cannot spend fatigue that would bring your VIT below 0.
If you spend Fatigue that brings your VIT to 0, you pass out for the ght. At the end of the ght, recover
Fatigue until one more fatigue would bring your VIT to 0.
Fatigue is restored by rest. The minimum amount of sleep required per night also restores 2 Fatigue. To
recover faster, naps are required. See the social addendum for nap rules for your campaign.
Example: Dan is a physical-skill based ghter. His VIT is 5 and his STR is 4, so his fatigue limit is 9. He
cast Fatal End (Tier II spell) last round and wants to cast it again. He spends 2 Fatigue to pull Fatal End
from his discard pile as a minor action, bringing his Fatigue count to 2. He casts it again as his standard.
Example: Alice is an ice-element based ghter. Her VIT is 2 and her STR is 2, so her fatigue limit is
4. She's already had to pull a few spells out of her discard pile, so her current Fatigue count is 6. She pulls
Bufula (Tier II) out of her discard pile for another 2 Fatigue and casts it. She then assesses the -1 penalty
to all her stats, taking her VIT down to 0. Alice promptly passes out until the end of combat.

7.3 Start of Combat

At the beginning of combat, each participant rolls d20+2AGL. The total values set the initative order. Ties
are determined by AGL, then by roll-o.
Each player draws from their active Persona's spell deck up to that Persona's Refresh value.

7.4 Turn Order

Your action consists of three phases, Move, Minor, and Standard, in any order.

Move. You may move your character up to his or her AGL score.

Minor. You may take a minor action, if you have any available to you.

Standard. You may take a standard action. More on this in 7.6.

Additionally, you may take any number of free actions.. A free action can be taken at any point during your
turn and does not cost any of move, minor, or standard. Finally, some spells may be cast as Interrupt
10 Yes, you can stack the deck. In fact, you are encouraged to do so.

14
action, which can be performed at any time, even when it's not your turn. If you use an interrupt action,
you can't use another until you've taken another turn.
If there are any turn-triggered abilities, such as poison damage or attempting to break a Mind eect, they
are assessed at the end of your turn.

7.5 Movement and Targeting

A character may move a number of spaces up to AGL+3. Diagonals are counted using the ve-ten rule: the
rst diagonal movement counts as one space, the second two, the third one, the fourth two, and so on. Spaces
containing friendly characters can be moved through without penalty. Spaces containing enemy characters
cannot be moved through, unless you have an ability that states otherwise.
Targets may be specied as requiring Line of Eect (LOE) or Line of Sight (LOS). LOE is a strict subset
of LOS: LOS requires that you be able to see the target, while LOE requires that you be able to trace a line
from yourself to the target without being interrupted. An enemy behind a window can be targeted by LOS
spells, but not LOE spells.
A spell that does not require LOS or LOE can be targeted at an enemy you cannot see so long as you have
some way of verifying the target's location. An ally capable of seeing the target and reporting to you will
suce, as will many kinds of intel spells.

7.6 Actions
During your turn, you may choose to do any of the following as a standard action:
Make a Melee Attack: If you're within the range specied by your melee weapon, typically range 1,
you may make a melee attack with that weapon. Before damage is rolled, the targeted enemy is entitled to
a dodge. If you hit, roll damage dice specied by your weapon.
Make a Ranged Attack: If you're within the range specied by your ranged weapon, you may make a
ranged attack with that weapon. Before damage is rolled, the targeted enemy is entitled to a dodge. If you
hit, roll damage dice specied by your weapon.
Use a Spell or Ability: activate the spell or ability from a card in your hand. Follow the rules of the
spell or ability, allowing each targeted enemy to dodge against your TEC if specied.
Change Persona: Return your hand to the current Persona's spell deck. Select a new Persona under
your command and draw cards equal to the new Persona's refresh value. Though this is a standard action,
once per battle you may do this as a minor action (more if you have ranks in One In Spirit).
Focus: If you only have one Persona, you mat spend a standard action to draw from your spell deck until
you're holding cards equal to your Persona's refresh value.
Item/Equipment: You may use a consumable item according to its rules. Alternatively, you may switch
out any number of pieces of your equipment with equipment from the party inventory.

7.7 Attacks and Dodging

All basic attacks and most spells entitle the targets to a dodge. Hits and dodges are based on dice rolls and
stats.
Attacker: 1d6+TEC
Defender: 1d6+AGL
If the defender's number is equal or greater to the attacker's number, the attack misses. If the attack hits,
roll the damage indicated by the spell or attack. Some spells specify that they use a die other than a d6 as
the attacker's hit die, and evasion abilities may give the defender a larger hit die.
Example: Carol decides to cast Agi at a Jotun. Carol has TEC 4; the Jotun has AGL 2. Carol rolls
1d6+4 and gets 8. The Jotun rolls 1d6+2 and gets 5. The attack hits.

15
Zero Hit Points
If you should be knocked to precisely zero HP, you are not completely unconscious. You cannot move and
may only take minor actions, but remain a valid target for spells and attacks and can be healed by both
revival eects and eects that only restore hit points.

Critical Hits
Critical hits are based on your LUK score. If an attack hits, compare the defender's unmodied die roll to
the attacker's LUK score. If the defender rolls under the attacker's LUK, the hit is critical. Each spell type
has a specied interaction with critical hits. These are listed in the Spell Compendium.

Dodge
Dodge abilities help the defender avoid particular attacks. If you have a Dodge <Element> ability and are
hit with an attack of that element, you may roll a larger hit die. The shift in die size will be specied by the
defending eect.

7.8 Sensing
Gathering intelligence about your enemies is a critical part of Persona. A Persona with the Intel Type can
spend an AP on the Sense ability, allowing them to discover information about the enemy.
Sense is a Hold ability, meaning its spell card must be in your hand to be used. Unlike most Hold cards,
however, it has an active ability. As long as Sense is in your hand, you can spend a move action to designate
an enemy as your Sense target. You don't have to be able to see the enemy. Afterwards, you may spend a
minor action to put a counter on your Sense card. When the number of Sense counters matches the target's
Sense diculty, you discovered the target's elemental interactions. Whenever you designate a new Sense
target, all counters are removed from your Sense card.
Most enemies low-level characters will encounter have a Sense diculty of 2. That means there are two
common patterns of Sensing:

1. Spend a move action to designate a target, a minor action to put a counter on Sense, and a minor action
on your next turn to put a second counter on Sense. In this way, you can sense a basic enemy every 2
turns without greatly compromising your actions. Or,

2. Spend a move action to designate a target, a minor action to put a counter on Sense, and a standard
action as a minor action to put a second counter on Sense. In this way, you can expend your whole turn
to sense an enemy in a single turn.

Of course, you're free to spend actions any way you see t. Bosses may have a higher Sense diculty or limit
how many times per round you may spend an action Sensing them; your GM will advise.
Multiple characters with Intel Personae may collaborate on Sensing. If you have the Sense ability, you can
spend a minor action to put a counter on any ally 's Sense card.

7.9 Bad Status

Whenever a spell or attack attempts to inict bad status on you, make a LUK save: roll LUKd12. If you
roll at least one 12, you may ignore the bad status. You still suer any other eects of the spell or attack.
Bad status eects can be grouped into three categories, based on the element of the spells that inict them:
Mind eects, which attack the psyche; Nerve eects, which attack the body; and Miscellaneous eects,
which are non-elemental. The abilities Null Mind and Null Nerve prevent their respective categories of
bad status, while the ability Null Status prevents all negative status eects listed below. There is a simple
way to remember the chance of recovering from a bad status: it's almost always 1/3; shock and prone always
recover.

16
Mind Eects
Charm puts a character under the control of the GM, or causes an enemy to target its allies. At the
end of the character's turn, there is a 33% chance of recovery.

Panic prevents a character from summoning his or her Persona or prevents an enemy from using special
abilities. At the end of the character's turn, there is a 33% chance of recovery.

Fear decreases dodge die category by 1. At the end of the character's turn, there is a 33% chance of
recovery. If you fail the save, return a spell from your hand to the deck.

Rage increases physical damage dealt and all damage taken by 50%, and decreases accuracy die category
by 1. At the end of the character's turn, there is a 33% chance of recovery. You may forgo the save.

Nerve Eects
Stun reduces dodge die category by 1 and reduces your turn to one Standard action. At the end of the
character's turn, there is a 33% chance of recovery.

Shock causes all incoming attacks to automatically succeed and reduces damage reduction by half. Roll
dodge at -1 die category to see if you suer a critical hit. At the end of his or her turn, the character
recovers.

Slow reduces movement by half and accuracy by 1 die category. 33% chance of recovery.

Miscellaneous Eects
Poison inicts 20% of max HP damage per round. 33% chance of recovery.

Prone is indicted by Knockdown spells. It reduces your dodge die category by 3. At the end of the
character's turn, the character recovers. An adjacent character can spend a move to help a character up
from prone.

7.10 End of Combat

Experience Points (XP) are awarded to the characters.
Growth Points (GP) are awarded for Personae. The players may decide the distribution of these GP
between their Personae. The Persona does not need to have been used in that combat to recieve GP.
Characters involved in the combat recover full HP.
Example: The combat has ended. The GM awards XP and 6 GP to the players. Bob has the Personae
JUSTICE: Angel and MAGICIAN: Icarus. Although Bob used both in the combat, he decides to split the
GP unevenly so that Angel recieves 4 GP for the ght and Icarus 2.

8 Equipment

8.1 Reading Weapons and Armor

Weapon range contains no implicit information. If a weapon has range 5, it may attack only enemies
exactly 5 spaces away. Range 1-5 may attack anywhere in between. Physical special abilities are treated
as spells, which can attack anywhere within their range, not as weapons!

Weapon damagetypically scales with STR. This damage is physical unless the weapon species otherwise.
For example, a 2d6+6STR weapon on a character with STR 3 deals 2d6+18 damage.

Armor damage reduction typically scales with VIT. This only applies to physical damage unless the
armor species otherwise. For example, a 5+3VIT armor on a character with VIT 3 reduces all incoming
damage by 14 (5 + 9).

17
8.2 Weapon Properties
Critical X
A weapon with this property inicts an X extra damage if the enemy's natural dodge die roll is below
the attacker's LUK. If Critical augments a magic attack, such as via Spell Transfer Critical, Critical
does damage based on MAG. The damage is of whatever type the eect would normally inict.

Farshot X
A ranged weapon with this property can be used outside its normal operating range, at a cost of -1 TEC
for each X spaces beyond the limit of its normal range.

Piercing (X)
A weapon with this property ignores the rst X points of damage reduction provided by enemy armor
or Fortify eects, though elemental resistance applies normally. Piercing 0 indicates that the weapon
ignores all armor and Fortify eects.

Transfer (Property)
A weapon with the Transfer keyword gives the benet of the specied property not only to attacks made
with the weapon, but to physical spells cast while wielding the weapon. For example, a weapon with
Transfer Critical and Critical 1d6 does bonus damage if the enemy fails to dodge a physical spell
cast by the user. If no property is specied, all of the weapon's keywords are transferred.

Spell Transfer (Property)

A weapon with the incredible Spell Transfer keyword gives the benet of the specied property to all
Spell Transfer Farshot
spells cast by the user, both physical and magical. For example, a weapon with
and Farshot 2 allows the user to cast Agi at increased range with a TEC penalty. The property is not
applied when it would not be sensical: Rakunda can never deal critical damage, and Evil Smile is never
piercing. If no property is specied, all of the weapon's keywords are transferred.

8.3 Armor Properties

Death Ward X
Armor with this property suppresses death eects from Dark spells. Instead of dying instantly, the user
instead takes a fraction of his or her max HP in damage: Death Ward 2 indicates half your max HP,
Death Ward 3 indicates 1/3 of your max HP, and so on. Death Ward 1 indicates that the user is dropped
to 1 HP by death eects; if the user was already at 1 HP, he or she dies. Death Ward 0 works similarly,
going to 0 HP instead. Having Death Ward does not cause you to take fatigue for dying due to Hama
and Mudo eects, even if it is death from damage.

Dodge (Element) X
Armor with this property increases your ability to avoid attacks of the specied type by increasing the
size of your dodge die. For example, if you have Dodge Fire 1 and are hit by Agi, you roll 1d8 to dodge.
If an attack does mixed-type damage, this ability does not apply.

Fortify (Element) X
Armor with this property provides an additional X damage resistance against the specied element or
elements, applied after elemental interactions such as weakness.

Fortify Criticals X
Armor with this property increases the diculty of rolling a crit against you. Treat your natural die
roll as X higher when an enemy is determining if it scores a critical hit on you. For example, if when
dodging you roll a 2 and have Fortify Critical 1, the enemy checks if 3 is lower than its Luck to determine
a critical hit.

Move X
Armor with this property lets you move an additional X spaces during your move action.

 Transfer and Spell Transfer
Armor may have the Transfer and Spell Transfer abilities in conjunction with weapon properties. This
functions just as if the property were on a weapon. This ability is quite rare.

9 Arcana

9.1 Social Links

Social Links are bonds between NPCs and PCs in the game. Each Social Link is linked to one of the Major
Arcana.
Spending time with the person with the link in-game increases the link's strength. Social Links, once
created, are measured in Ranks 1-10. There may be mechanical benets for higher ranks in a Social Link.
These benets are campaign-dependent and up to your GM. Some examples might be survivability in combat
and additional Aspects.

9.2 Arcana Spread

At the beginning of each Dark Hour, the Major Arcana the party has the Aspects for
11 are laid in a spread.
For the cost of one Aspect Token, any one of these may be tapped by any player for the eects of the card.
Once the card is tapped, it may not be tapped again until the next Dark Hour.
The cards in the Arcana Spread do not give the same eects as tagging or compelling an Arcana Aspect12 .
Treat this as another use for Aspect Tokens.
Each Major Arcana has a Combat and Non-Combat eect.
The cards Judgement and The World are special-cases. These cards are left as campaign-specic eects
that the GM can design to best t their campaign or use in true Persona fashion
13 .

11 Yes, this is all the Arcana aspects, not just the Aspect of the active Persona
12 This is explicitly to prevent you from getting the eects of the card multiple times if the spread does not contain multiple
copies of that Arcana card.
13 Judgement was used to unlock the top of Tartarus (Persona 3) and Magatsu Inaba (Persona 4 ). The World was both The
Great Seal (Persona 3) and Myriad Truths (Persona 4 ). We're not in the business of telling GMs what their endgames should
look like.

10 Spell Compendium

A spell card interface exists at https://turzaak.scripts.mit.edu/cards/

Spells are separated by Type and Tier. Critical eects are described immediately following the Type.
Notation:

(A) - Active ability. Requires card in spell deck to cast. Costs a standard action.

(P) - Passive ability. Always on. Don't put this spell card in your deck.

(H) - Held ability. Only on if card is in hand.

Critical X - Same as the weapon keyword. Does damage based on STR or MAG based on what
ordinarily powers the spell.

Fast - A fast spell can be cast as a minor action.

Interrupt - An interrupt spell can be cast when it's not the caster's turn, typically when another spell
is being cast. Cast on one's own turn, an interrupt spell costs no actions, can be performed during any
phase of the turn, and doesn't use your interrupt action for the round.

Knockdown - A knockdown spell knocks the target prone if the spell successfully deals damage. A
separate condition may be provided to trigger or avoid the knockdown eect. A particular subtype is
Knockdown Weakness, which triggers only if the target is weak against the damage dealt by the spell.
Knockdown Standard triggers only if the target is weak or neutral to the damage dealt by the spell.

Realized - A realized spell is capable of inicting damage to more than just beings with minds. While
most spells deal damage only to sentient targets capable of comprehending the eect, a realized re
spell is entirely capable of setting a room ablaze. These spells are typically more expensive, and quite
dangerous.

Repressed - A repressed spell is set aside after use, eectively removed from the game. No eect can
recover it afterwards unless it specically says it works on repressed spells. Repressed spells are recovered
at the end of the Dark Hour.

HDC - Hit Die Category. Increase the die size of your accuracy die by specied amount.

Unique - A unique spell is only available to a certain Persona. (Examples of these are found in the
Miscellaneous section of the Spell Compendium, Section 10.15. Your campaign documents may include
more.)
